Hurricane Sandy brought out the worst yesterday in some sleazy New Yorkers, who looted stores and homes across the city.

Some posed as Con Ed workers to dupe their victims.

Police arrested more than a dozen looters in the Rockaways and Coney Island, which had been evacuated, and stood guard outside ravaged stores at the South Street Seaport. “This morning when they told us the water receded, I walked back to the house to feed [my pets],” said Eric Martine, 33, a cabby who lives in Brooklyn’s Gerritsen Beach. “Guys were looting, pretending they were Con Ed and holding people up. It was sick.” Residents said police warned them to beware of crooks pretending to be utility workers...

Not so here in Japan after a natural disaster 100x that of Hurricane Sandy, just 19 months ago here: 19,000 killed, 500+ of them children, 230,000 vehicles destroyed, 45,000 building destroyed and $300Billion in damages. Hardly a loaf a bread touched, nor a box of cup ramen noodles.

True, that. Watch for this story to be covered up. CNN, BSNBC, etc. won’t be out there filming this crazyness. Not six days before election day for you know now. It might take courageous citizen reporters risking their lives to get this on tape and to the alternative media.

Well, when you disarm the citizens you can kind of expect this kind of BS.

Remember the Korean merchants during the R King Olympics?

After pleas for help were either ignored or denied, they took matters in their own hands.
Don’t think they really shot (killed) all that many BUT once they armed themselves etc the ‘revelers’ found other UNARMED targets.

When the animals leave the confines of their own neighborhoods is when the ‘bloodbaths’ will start, but when they get that stupid, the rest of the sheeples will be ‘dumbed’ down enough to do nothing.

Sorry, at the top of this article I posted a photo of looting in one area of New York. It turns out it was copyrighted for this publication, so FR Mod rightly pulled it. Let me describe said photo anyways (which won't break the rules):

Water is about knee deep. Sidewalk is strewn with trash and debris. An NYPD cop car is parked just inside the right side of the picture. One very overweight woman of African-American heritage, is gingerly walking away with a brand new pair of white running sneakers out of the box in her hand, looking back with perhaps a slight level of trepidation toward the police cruiser, but still making off with the shoes which are now "hers". Probably no NYC cops were on site at that time of the photo.

Guns are evil in NYC. Just ask the majority of the NYC electorate who keep voting for anti-gun fanatics. Self devense and defense of your property are serious crimes in NY and self defence with a gun is probably the worst crime you can commit there - just ask Bernard Goetz.

Have you been having a lot of Romney/Ryan signs being stolen in your neighborhood? We have where we are in Miami. Interesting that the ones stolen have been at houses near a local elementary school. Houses with signs farther away have not by and large had a problem (And I don’t think it’s the kids doing it.)

We are proactively dealing with the situation as I speak. I have just signed an Executive Order to ban all full size candy bars within the entire New York Metropolitan areas. My emergency staff is also looking at the dangers imposed by so-called "Fun Size" candy bars. These are the "Saturday Night Specials" of candy bars, and while smaller, they inevitably lead to hard candy.

You don't have a welfare class there who have a bone deep sense of entitlement - that is they feel entitled to other peoples' goods and money as supported by our government. These looters were just cutting out the middle man.

They’re beginning the prep to get the country to ask how we can have elections when a very populous part of the country is in chaos. Rush has pointed out that the POTUS can’t do anything about it Constitutionally. The only thing he could do is.....declare martial law, which puts the Constitution on hold, if I understand correctly. The looting would add another dimension to try to justify the martial law that some of us were suggesting 3 years ago could be the game plan if Obama thought he wouldn’t win a re-election.

At that time we were also asking how the military would go if they were asked to fire upon and suppress patriotic America in a martial law situation. This is where Obama’s Benghazi screw-up may end up hurting Obama a LOT - because after Tyrone Woods’ heroism and Obama throwing out the military’s whole foundational premise that we “leave no man behind”, I would not want to be Obama asking the US military to “have his back” now, over, above, and against the Constitution.

The mechanics are all in place for the scheme to work. But I have a feeling that if Obama tries to run this machine he’s going to find a lot of cogs that are too bent out of shape to go along with it.

This isn’t “looting” as the term is normally understood - gangs of disorganized scavengers smashing into stores and emptying them. These are small crews of seasoned stickup men taking advantage of stretched police resources. Some of these crews are even dressing as police and fire.

Looters will be shot dead and their bodies hung from trees and light poles as a reminder to the disgusting vermin that their moral decay will cost them everything, should they choose to exercise their morally corrupt behavior.

Anyone willing to steal things from people during this time of crisis should be wiped off the earth. Few things disgust me more. Having been through two major disasters like this, the last thing you want to worry about is Lootie and Friends digging through your stuff looking for freebies.

"But I have a feeling that if Obama tries to run this machine hes going to find a lot of cogs that are too bent out of shape to go along with it."

No need to suspend the constitution or impose martial law. Fabian he is. "Early voting" was permitted, and nobody said a word. So now, Obama will simply issue an executive order permitting "late voting," and his coupe d'etat will be complete.
